“…Three series primarily utilized P/D: Both Holsti et al and Gupta et al utilized conventional post-operative radiotherapy, and Minatel et al used IMRT (15, 19, 20). The definitions of failures vary by study, and no clear consensus appears to exist.…”

“…A nonrandomized prospective study from Finland evaluated the role of different altered fractionation schedules of hemithorax irradiation in multimodal treatment approaches [17]. In comparison with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy, the authors evaluated different treatment schedules such as the use of split-course therapy, hypofractionation, hyperfractionation, an additional boost to the major tumor area, or a combination of conventional fractionation and hypofractionation.…”

“…Curative doses (>60 Gy) pose a serious risk to normal tissues, including the neighboring lung, heart, esophagus and spinal cord. Several studies have shown that definitive radiotherapy does not increase median survival past 10 months [81,[94][95][96].…”
